Existence of Souls.....?

Question

Energy never dies right??? What about that little bit of energy that makes up your brain, How you react, Your personality, your Soul - How can atheists deny we have souls when you can feel that you exist....Therefore you have a soul.

True, you can't prove God's presence or any afterlife BUT you can't disprove it either......I believe because it's what feels right with me!!!
It is your prerogative to believe in nothing after death - It's mine to believe in one!!
I don't push my faith on other people....Far from it, actually!!!
If they come to believe in an afterlife, I prefer they do it on their own!!!

A physician (swedish, I believe) was trying to measure the changes that take place in our bodies as we die. In the course of this exploration, volunteers with terminal cancer were studied and monitored as they died...they were on very sensitive tables that weighed their mass, nothing was removed or added to the bodies..but as they exhaled their last breath, they lost 8 ounces...where did it go?

Answer 1

Atheists don't realize that they are actually agnostics because atheists don't know 100% of everything so in order to be a true atheist you have to have all knowledge which is impossible with man. The sad fact is that the majority of people on earth, including many professing christians have created a god that suits themself. Whether it's a god that doesn't send people to hell, or a god that allows many ways to heaven through different religons, or a god that says it's okay to live however you want and god will just forgive you. This is called idolatery which the bible says "no idolater will enter the kingdom of heaven." 1 Corinthians 6:9,10

In the old testament we read
"and it is appointed unto man once to die, but after this comes judgement" Hebrews 9:27

We all have to stand before God who is not corrupt or deceitfully wicked as we are (Mark 7:21). God is holy, perfect and just and must punish liars, theives, adulters, murders, etc. Since all of us have sinned and fall short of the glory of God (Romans 6:23) we must throw ourselves at the mercy of Jesus Christ. We broke the law, which is the 10 commandments and Jesus paid the fine. Jesus said, "Unless ye repent, ye will all likewise perish" Luke 13:3. We must put our faith in Christ alone (John 14:6) for our salvation or we will perish on the day of wrath.(Romans 3:25)

Answer 2

There is an important difference between the words 'soul' and 'spirit' as they're used in the Bible. A 'soul' is the entire creature itself, whether human or animal. The Genesis account says Adam "came to be a living soul." (Genesis 2:7). It doesn't say Adam had a soul.

'Spirit', on the other hand, is the anima or "breath of life" that was breathed into Adam and is present in all animal life. This is not, however an entity unto itself. It is merely, as you have mentioned, the energy of life. The electricity running a radio doesn't go anywhere when the radio is off, it's just gone. Just like when we die, our spirit goes out of us.

Answer 3

Do you really feel separate from your body? If so, it's just one of our brains' many attempts to delude us.

I don't feel that I exist - I know it. But I also know that I don't have a soul. In ALL history, there has NEVER been ANY evidence to even suggest the existence of something like a soul or ghost or spirit separate from our physical bodies. It's a completely preposterous idea.

Houdini was extremely intelligent and wanted desperately to contact his dead mother. He went to extraordinary lengths in an effort to do so. He failed in every attempt - and embarrassed hundreds of frauds and fakes along the way. And then when he died, he left some kind of instructions with his wife that would unequivocally convince her if he were somehow, in some way, to survive his physical death. Nothing happened. If Houdini couldn't do it, what makes you think anyone else can?

Answer 4

it does deteriorate in form and converts either into potential energy as by entropy or converts into matter . It doesn't remain static or kinetic as far as I understand .that's why when you get shocked by an electrical outlook in doesn't continued for ever ;it has limits but this better discussed in the science venues were they have experts that know enough to run circles around me. nice try though , maybe someday they will discover the true essence of the soul if there really is a such thing . I've heard it is a new type of energy composed of emotion and able to transcend to the future as the prophets

Answer 5

Energy does not die, but it degrades to uselessness, as does the organization of the brain when an individual dies. There is nothing separate from one's physical existence which could reasonably be called a "soul".

Answer 6

Do you exercise any faith at all in God's word? Genesis 2:7, and man became a living soul. Man is a soul, he does not have a soul. Ezekiel 18:4, the soul that is sinning, it itself will die. The soul dies, it does not go anywhere but into the grave. God cannot lie. So, what are you going to believe? God's word or your own opinion. To your next question of watching people die. Demons knew what you were doing and what you wanted to see, so they gave it to you to continue Satan's lie that we don't die. God told Adam that he would die if he ate from the forbidden tree, Satan said to Eve, you will not die. So, tell me, who do you believe, God or Satan?

Answer 7

Of course everybody has a soul, that means personality and ability to think. This is the result of the activities of the brain. And nobody denies that. Or do you mean something else with the word soul? When we die the activities of the brain cease and there is no "soul" any longer, that is, no more thinking and planning.

Answer 8

The Bible is quite clear when it says that the spirit of God returns to God when a person dies and that the soul is the person himself or the life that the person has--it also tells us that the soul dies. It also makes us aware of the fact that resurrection is the only way that a person will ever again be conscious of anything.

Answer 9

A soul continues developing for eons to magnify the radiessence of the All and should be in a pure state to return to a higher plane to evolve at a higher density.
All is not as it appears and man has little comprehension of matter in its pure state.
It is said that the scientists will eventually begin to perceive man's energy as matter and understand its development before the ordinary citizen will.
This is not true for man has only to be open and allow the Christ energy to flow and all of his questions shall be answered. http://www.alleternity.co.nz

Answer 10

The energy in your brain is dissapated through heat when you die. Sorry, just existing doesn't mean you have some internal, eternal source of energy. There's no such thing as a soul.
